I did not sign up for this...

I have been so excited about being pregnant ever since I found out, and of course I still am, but some days I feel so worn out and beat down that I wish August 10th would just hurry up and get here. I have been waking up pretty much every night with leg cramps. I used to get leg cramps from time to time, but now it is every single night. To make matters worse, every time I wake up I have to pee, so it's work out the cramp then pee. Then of course when I get back in bed Alex is moving around so I just lay there feeling her kick until I finally fall back asleep.

I absolutely love feeling her kick but sometimes she is just plain mean. I'll be sitting there minding my own business and all of a sudden she gives me a swift kick in the ribs or the bladder. I guess I just have to think of it as it's her way of saying Mommy, I'm here! I'm doing ok!

When I finally entered my 2nd trimester my energy came back. As I move into my 3rd, it is slowly going away. I went to sleep at 9pm the other night then had to take a 2 hour nap when I got home from work the next day. I mean, I got winded mopping the kitchen floor today, it's so sad.

I used to look forward to my weekly yoga class. Tonight, I thought I was going to pass out. I just don't have the energy I used to.

Enough complaining...I am grateful that I have had a healthy pregnancy so far and that my baby girl is doing well. I am looking forward to next week when we have our 3rd ultrasound
